Baby I took his shoe off in the car on the way home from Church today. When I told him, "no, no!" he tried to put it back on by himself {it didn't work}!
I painted L's toes for the very first time after having the following conversation: L: "Guess what color I painted my toes, mom...gray!" Me: "How'd you do that?" L: With a pencil, but I can undo it, there's an undoer on the back!" She was SOOO excited to have her toenails painted 'for real!'
I was pretty happy when I realized that the new 'ball tent' was a good way for Baby I to be happily occupied in a confined space, until I came up to find this. He had pushed the tent over, crawled through the hole on the top and was wandering around the porch with balls in hand!
We headed north for a family fishing trip today. This is the 'Grand Lodge' where we stayed for the remainder of the week. With 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms {there were 17 of us staying here} it was grand, and pretty much like our very own hotel!
We spent the morning fishing {thanks Grandma and Great Grandpa for watching the kids!!}.
We went out fishing again this morning. We didn't catch any fish, but we did get very close to this flock of pelicans. I never realized how BIG these birds are!
We said goodbye to the Grand Lodge and to some of our extended family today, but not before getting this picture of all of us!
My camera is broken {actually it broke on Friday but I already had pictures to use for Friday and Saturday, so this one got bumped to today} and I have yet to get it fixed or replaced. I gotta say, taking pictures with my old camera {that has no zoom and very poor lighting} kind of takes the fun out of my POTD efforts! :-(
Happy 235th America! Nothing says '4th of July' like running through the sprinkler in Grandma and Grandpa's yard with Cousin K and Uncle J, right?! {Photo courtesy of D's sister, D}
Ummm...obviously, Baby I could use a hair cut, like now yesterday!
L was making a red, white and blue collage today but because the project went largely unsupervised {I was cooking supper and D was hanging pictures}, it turned out to be more of a red, white and glue collage, instead!
I would like to say that L and Baby I always sit so nicely on my lap when we play the 'can you find the _____?' game with this {Baby I's favorite!} book. Unfortunately, it's usually more like the picture on the right. You know, L saying, "No, Baby I the mittens are here!" and Baby I trying to escape! Sigh...
This is Baby I's pressed up against the glass face that says, "Hey, mom, are you comin' out here?"
D trimmed the hedges today and L got to help pick up some of the branches and leaves. She is such a happy helper!
